Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Test Product (T): Stelis Teriparatide [rh-PTH (1-34)]
The volunteers will be administered with a single dose of 20 mcg Teriparatide from Test product product through subcutaneous injection on either side of anterior abdominal wall, alternating between opposite sites in the 3 periods by trained study team member in accordance with the randomization schedule in this 3 way cross over design study.
The Stelis Teriparatide [rh-PTH (1-34)] injection is supplied in a cartridge as 250 micrograms of Teriparatide [rh-PTH (1-34)] per mL of solution. The injection is supplied as sterile, colorless, clear, isotonic solution intended for subcutaneous injection. The solution contains acetate buffer with mannitol as tonicity agent and metacresol as preservative.
The cartridge is supplied as with filled volume of 3.2 mL of solution along with reusable pen to be adequate for multiple usage. Pen can deliver 28 dosages of 20 micrograms each delivered in 80 microliters of solution. Pen is approved as a medical device with ‘CE mark’ by notified body based in United Kingdom authorized by Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA-UK).
The formulation components, intended dosage, and route of administration of the Test product is similar to the innovator reference product Forsteo® and Forteo®. The test formulation is supplied in an USP type-1 Glass cartridge, bromobutyl plunger. Each mL of solution contains 250 µg Stelis Teriparatide [rh-PTH (1-34)], 410 µg acetic acid – glacial, 100 µg sodium acetate, 45.4 mg mannitol, 3.0 mg meta-cresol and water for injections. In addition, hydrochloric acid solution 10% q.s. and/or sodium hydroxide solution 10% q.s. have been added to adjust product pH.

The comparability criteria for Stelis Teriparatide [rh-PTH(1-34)] biosimilar is established for the finished product via a quality target product profile (QTPP). The QTPP was based on data collected on the reference medicinal product Forsteo® and Forteo®, including publicly available information and data obtained from extensive characterization of the reference medicinal product. QTPP formed the basis for the development of the biosimilar product and its manufacturing process.
Each of the 3 treatment periods will be separated by a washout period of 7 days and the subjects will be followed for safety for +/- 7 days after the last dose of the Test/Reference product administered in the study.
